Six Dynasties, Yuefu and Late-Qing/Early-Min Language and Literature

• Huang Zunxian (黄遵憲)
• Chinese Poetry
• Yuefu (楽府)
• The End of the Qing Dynasty
• Six Dynasties

I read ancient Chinese poetry. Using Yuefu poetry as a model, I believe that the passing down and phases of the development of literary language can be understood. Recently, I have been advancing my investigations and research by focusing on poetry from the period of the Six Dynasties, which prepared the way for the literary language of Tang poetry.
